This plugin sure has come a long ways and i really like seeing this community grow and help each other out should problems arise on their stores.
With that said there is a huge untapped market (more like a second store if you will) and its called Google shopping
Watch this video here to get an idea of how it works.
What Google shopping does is display your product price, description, etc on googles shopping network. the following process takes place:
- upload your excel file into googles merchant data feed
- google than takes all that info and creates a google store with that excel document
- free or paid traffic will visit your product based on keywords/ paid ads and buy product
- profit
Why am i telling you this? Its because it will benefit us all. You may ask how would something like this work for our stores? Well i would want Yaros and his team along with the community's help to approve this feature into the stores plugin.
How the google shopping could work for our stores can happen 1 of 2 ways i believe.
Project #1
- allow alidropship store owners to extract excel databases of their store with configured excel document categories to work google shoppings standards.
- upload excel file into google shopping and google takes care of the rest.
Problem with this idea is aliexpress merchant change their pricing for products on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. So what you upload into google shopping might be old outdated pricing measures. To counter this problem you can upload an excel file once a day
Project #2
- integrate a automated process in the alidropship plugin where it would extract and upload the excel file document to your google shopping merchant account automatically without you having to do any manual work. Just press a button and it takes care of the rest.
Not sure if this type of system is complex and or how much time it would take.
Listen, this right here is a powerful tool and in my eyes, if this is not implemented into alidropship, then its leaving money on the table. Hell, if this process is too complex, then i would request that if Yaros and his team can allow us to extract our stores via excel sheet, and i would just take care of the manual process of uploading it to google shopping myself everyday.
In the end this benefits us all, so let me know what you guys think.
here is a link describing google shopping in more detail
"Google Shopping can cost you $1 a day, $1 a month, or more than $100 a day, depending on how much visibility you want your products to have. In Q4, we conducted a Google Shopping study which shows merchant costs on Google Shopping averaged at $11.30 in spend for every $100.00 in sales. Compared to other marketing channels, Google Shopping costs were extremely low, even lower than the flat fees on most Amazon Marketplace categories. Google Shopping, if managed correctly, should yield similar Google Shopping cost / revenue ratios, depending on your average order value, price compared to your competitors, and site-wide conversion rates."
